vim - Emacs + Evil: non incremental search and persistent highlighting? -

i'm trying emacs+evil after 2 decades vim user. i'm moving of vim configuration evil 1 thing i'm having lot of problems set search , highlighting 1 use vim. i'm trying have non-incremental search , highlights remain until clear them manually or make search.

i've set these settings on config file:

;; keep search highlights (setq lazy-highlight-cleanup nil) (setq lazy-highlight-max-at-a-time nil) (setq lazy-highlight-initial-delay 0) 

using / key search evil incremental thing , highlights removed press other movement key (like j key c-s (emacs internal i-search) highlights remain. c-s ret (non incremental search) highlights doesn't remain.

ok, found working solution highlighting:

(defun highlight-remove-all ()   (interactive)   (hi-lock-mode -1)   (hi-lock-mode 1))  (defun search-highlight-persist ()   (highlight-regexp (car-safe (if isearch-regexp                                   regexp-search-ring                                 search-ring)) (facep 'hi-yellow)))  (defadvice isearch-exit (after isearch-hl-persist activate)   (highlight-remove-all)   (search-highlight-persist))  (defadvice evil-search-incrementally (after evil-search-hl-persist activate)   (highlight-remove-all)   (search-highlight-persist)) 

this highlight searches done isearch or evil search. highlight remain until make 1 or call highlight-remove-all. i've mapped leader spc with:

(evil-leader/set-key "spc" 'highlight-remove-all) 

ps: made package, it's on melpa name "evil-search-highlight-persist" and: https://github.com/juanjux/evil-search-highlight-persist
